Gaming performance

With an index of 42/100, the Intel Arc B580 is a solid midrange card for 1080p at high settings and 1440p at balanced settings. It covers the vast majority of current games without major sacrifices.

VRAM: what resolutions it handles

With 12 GB of VRAM it is comfortable at 1440p with high textures and holds up well at 4K in most titles. The most memory-hungry modern games (open worlds with ultra textures) already recommend 12 GB, making this amount a future-proof investment.
